My periods are delayed by five days. I have not had unprotected penetrative sex. I took a urine pregnancy test, as advised by a doctor online, and it was negative. What should be the next step?

A 5 day delay in your period with a negative urine pregnancy test and no unprotected penetrative sex is reassuring. Stress, travel, illness, or hormonal fluctuations can cause minor delays in your cycle. It is best to wait for another week, and if your period does not start, repeat a urine pregnancy test for reassurance. If your cycles continue to be irregular, consult your doctor for further evaluation to check thyroid or hormonal levels if needed.

View allIs it necessary to take a pregnancy test only with early morning urine? My period is delayed by 20 days, will the result still be accurate if I take the test at night or at any other time of the day?

Hi, I had intercourse on 12th July and took an iPill on 13th July. From 15th to 20th July, I experienced heavy bleeding and noticed a brown colored clot on the pad. Since the bleeding ended, I have been feeling severe nausea and pain on the left side of my abdomen. It has been more than 3 weeks now. I am attaching a pregnancy test report that I took 7 days ago. My last period was on 10th June, and my period has not started this month yet. Please suggest if I need to take any further tests.
